After more than 15 years of planning and dreaming, it looks like I will be living in Puglia starting in late July. The buyers of my house have their mortgage commitment and I have my plane tickets (cat included). The adventure begins! Thanks to all those in this forum that helped me get to this level. I will return the favor as I learn new ways in my adopted home. My grandparents came to America in 1906 and made a good life here. If only they were still alive to know that I am returning to the motherland.
